Nollywood actress and movie producer, Funke Akindele, has expressed that she doesn't view her divorces from her two ex-husbands as failures.

In a recent interview with Wazobia FM, Lagos, Akindele shared that her mother taught her the importance of understanding that success often comes with failures.

The 'Box Office' queen, who married Nigerian singer JJC Skillz in 2016 and divorced in July 2013, emphasized her approach to life by taking things as they come.

Akindele stressed the significance of her mental health and career, making them priorities in her life. She also mentioned that her primary focus is on living an impactful life while providing for her children and siblings.

She said, “If you don’t fail, you can’t be successful. You have to keep trying. Like when a child is trying to walk, the child will walk small and just fall off. So it’s normal for you to fall but you just have to pick yourself and rise again.

“For me, I see failure, I see challenges, I see obstacles, as part of life. My mum raised me like that. My mum will say if you do not fail, if you do not fall, you cannot succeed. So you have to keep going. And note, I do not even see the failures.

“If you ask me now can you tell me one failure, I don’t see it as a failure. My personal life – marriage, I just take it as it comes. My mental health is very important. My career is very important, darling.

“I have to make an impact. I have to empower a lot of people. I have to inspire young people out there. I have to stay strong for my children and my siblings. Why am I living? I have a purpose, so my head is up. Yes I cry, yes I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say “Keep moving.”
